Fun Saturday Had a great day on Saturday with Sally, Jenny and Diane we were playing with Gelli Plates and acrylic paints and also making a small brag book. We did half a day at each swapping at lunch so … Continue reading →

This is my Project for craft club tomorrow, thought I ought to do something for all the mum’s out there although David & I have unfortunately run out of parents.

If you are coming to do this tomorrow you will need a small picture approx 2″ x 2 3/4″ and if you have any glossy accents for the butterflies this is best done at home and left overnight to dry.

I have changed the twill ribbon – well truthfully I dyed it with tea last night as the white did not look right. I have now dyed loads of lace and twill for tomorrow, but, if anybody wants to change the colour scheme I will also have white lace and twill.

Well I finally sorted out the minibook to go inside my box for tomorrow. Just 1 sheet of cardstock, score three vertical lines equally across the page approx every three inches then score across the middle horizontally cut along this line from left to right until you reach the 3rd vertical score line. Fold along the remaining horizontal score line, and fold the rest of the page along the remaining score lines and hey presto you have a small book 6″ x 3″. I then stuck the centre page together to form a pocket, so that I can put tickets, tags etc in the middle. Decorate as you feel inspired.

You can also make 3″ x 3″ books in a similar way, you just have to remember where to cut on the horizontal, or it just doesn’t fol properly. This is the voice of experience, I’ve ended up with some strange looking minibooks before!!!!!
